Review on Wireless Solar Driveway Alarm: 1800ft Range, Motion Sensor, Rechargeable Battery & Weatherproof - 1&1-Brown by Rick Everett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as described - so glad I bought it!

Two sets purchased. One set had one sensor, one base, the second set had two sensors, one base. My intention was to have a base on both the first and second floors and all three sensors activated both bases. Each of the three sensors had to be placed at the end of the driveway, at the top of the driveway, and on the porch. My driveway runs from the back of my house, so these are basically the main entry points that everyone typically uses. They were very easy to set up. The instructions that came with it were very clear and easy to understand. The only sticking point for me was how to set the sensitivity. It turned out that the one at the end of the driveway was too sensitive. On the first day he worked several times (lost count). I ended up removing it and resetting it to the lowest (least sensitive) setting. Since doing this I have only received one wrong call in a week. I don't have many visitors. But a week after I installed it, it was working great when I received the package in the mail. I was upstairs and heard her enter the driveway (which activated the first sensor), left her standing on the side porch (which activated the sensor at the top of the driveway), and reactivated the sensor at the bottom of the driveway as she did went. Overall I'm happy with the whole experience. It was easy to set up and works as it should. I can't comment on the durability of the system as I've only had it for a week. But so far so good!
